Boston, the Weston rich quarter on the western outskirts of the city.
It's Sunday morning.
Yesterday, a group of people flying to Boston were five minutes away from nine o'clock and entered a manor in the rich area on time. Lina Kane got off the bus first, and immediately saw an Eastern European woman wearing rimless glasses and a home suit coming with two waitresses with obvious Eastern European blood.
Even if we can roughly judge the age of this woman, Lina Kane still has a small situation in front of her perfect appearance and gentle temperament, even some inexplicable inferiority and closeness.
However, Lina Kane immediately found that the woman seemed a little embarrassed in front of them. Her voice was soft and said with a little British accent, "please come with me, everyone."
The other side did not introduce, Lina and others are inconvenient to take the initiative to greet too much.
Lena, who is good at observation, soon finds that the edge of the slender neck wrapped in a woman's turtleneck is faintly red, and even the woman's face is red, which is easy to make people have ambiguous associations. After a deep thought, she can roughly understand why the woman is embarrassed.
Lina can't judge the specific age of the other party, but she is at least in her thirties, while her boss is only 29 years old this year.
Such an intellectual and gentle woman will be embarrassed when she is seen as a lover for a man who is much smaller than herself.
I have to say that Lina really guessed Maria's mind.
Hello, everyone. Our public account will send cash and red envelopes every day. You can get them as long as you pay attention to them. The last welfare at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. The official account [book]
, except for age, is not guessing.
What's more, this is not Maria and her children's manor, but uliana's residence. Compared with other women around Simon, as the mother of five children, plus her own personality, and even the age gap with a little man, she has always been a shy passive undertaker in front of him.
Last night, she was half cheated and half coaxed. For the first time, she spent a ridiculous night with urijana. Even though these guests could not know what happened last night, Maria still felt embarrassed when facing outsiders.
Fortunately, it's not in her own house, otherwise, Maria will definitely not follow.
You know, it's not just three boys and two little ones. Because of the weekend, my daughter also came back from MIT to visit herself.
However, some hateful little man probably also thought of these and chose this side, which made Maria inexplicably express some strange little gratitude for this life. She knew it was not normal, but, at least, he didn't embarrass himself in front of the children, finally Not too bad.
With this in mind, Maria leads the guests into the villa, across the hall, to an office on the west side of the first floor, knocks on the door, and pushes the door in after receiving the response.
In front of me is a very spacious office, and the south side is the floor glass window, which is very bright.
The temperature in Boston is very low, but the room is warm as spring.
Simon was sitting on the sofa in the reception area near the glass window, flipping through some information, listening to girl a's report, and standing up when everyone came in.
There were two men and four women.
In addition to Lina Kane, there are Hollywood gold medalist Jerry brookheimer, Paul Greengrass, the director of "the witch Blair" and "the public enemy", Annika setel, the screenwriter of "the witch Blair", and the last two, not only Simon, but also young girls who once knew each other.
The first one from Canada, who used to be one of Hollywood sweethearts, is Rachel McAdams, who just turned 20 this year.
And the second, looking at the pair of smiling tiger teeth, Simon almost blurted out "Hello, genmei, how's sledgehammer?" Simon used to like the 22-year-old Amy Aker, the heroine in the TV series "suspect tracking".
These are two of the three heroines in the witch Blair recently selected by Lina.
Of course, it's the result of Simon's personal bad taste.
Now that genmei has all appeared, Simon really hopes that good things will come together in pairs, and he can put together another "Xiao Da Chui", so that the three heroines in the setting will live together.
Unfortunately, I didn't find it.
Because the casting criteria of "the witch Blair" still refer to "ghost record", it needs new people who have acting foundation, but have not shown their faces on big and small screens. It's better to be all kinds of college students majoring in acting.
So Rachel McAdams and Amy Aker were picked out.
One of them is a student majoring in drama performance at York University in Canada. The other just graduated from the Acting Department of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and just went to Los Angeles. As for Sara Shashi, who used to be "Xiao Da Chui", this is obviously not the case.
In fact, all the three heroines in the plan have been selected.The last one didn't come today, mainly because Simon wasn't interested. In addition, the other party didn't sign in Lina's name. Through family connections, there was another agency. Moreover, this girl is also a actress Simon once knew, Katherine Monin, a famous Hollywood tomboy, who was famous for her role in "word for word" and the cousin of Gwyneth Paltrow, the queen of water.
Katherine mooning, 20, is a junior at the New York Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Although Simon is not interested in the girl who can't distinguish the pros and cons with her head covered, her acting skills are excellent enough and her image just meets the requirements of "the witch Blair", so she is naturally selected.
Speaking of it, because a tomboy is needed in the film. At first, when he saw Katherine mooning, Simon thought of Hilary Swank, the most nonexistent Oscar actress in Hollywood. The acting skill is better. Unfortunately, after checking, he found that he has been on the stage for many years. Although there are still all kinds of tricks, he still does not meet the screening criteria that the role in the film must be a newcomer.
After greeting, Maria brought coffee and snacks in person. Everyone sat down on the sofa in the reception area of the office and began to discuss business.
It's about Blair the witch, of course.
Today is Sunday, which is not a working day, but Simon can only squeeze out some time today. Naturally, Lina and others have to cater to his schedule and fly to Boston from all over the United States.
No one complains about this. No matter inside or outside Hollywood, there are few people who expect to meet Simon westrow. As long as there is a chance, let alone fly to Boston, even to Mars, as long as it is feasible, few people will refuse.
It's like Jerry brookheimer who came here together this time.
Originally, the project of "the witch Blair" had nothing to do with him. Brookheimer saw the opportunity and offered to be the executive producer of the film without any reward.
Simon agreed to send the proposal to Simon after a little consideration.
It's about getting what you need.
In recent years, Jerry brookheimer's career has been on the decline obviously. As brookheimer's boss, the idea of "the witch Blair" can naturally be heard that it was Simon's own idea. Therefore, it can be said that it was an active friendship, just as Brian De Palmer escorted Simon's debut "Lola run".
In addition, since Paul Greengrass, the director of the witch Blair, is Simon's director of public enemy, brookheimer, as the producer of public enemy, also happens to observe and even help the newcomer nearby. Maybe he can become his own direct partner in the future.
The new version of "the witch Blair" has been basically completed.
In addition to the original exploration architecture setting for witches, most of the other details are quite different from what they used to be. This is mainly because the quality of the original version is not good enough, and it is more just an accidental success under virus marketing.
This time, the story mainly tells the story of two men, three women and five college students who went to explore according to the legend of a small town witch, went deep into the dense forest, from the initial adventure, to the discovery of strange things, and then to the appearance of a real witch, which led to the annihilation of the small team.
That's right.
Compared with the past, there will be real Witches in the new "witch Blair".
In fact, the reason why the team was completely afraid was that there was no witch. It was more because the team's budget was too small to afford to play.
Simon initially thought about continuing this fear pattern, and then he overthrew himself.
Because this mode has just been used in ghost record.
The ghost record, which is still on show, is basically set according to the original version. There is no ghost in the whole process. If the following "the witch Blair" is still like this, it will inevitably give people a feeling of repeated speculation. It's just that you can't see a ghost once, and you can't see a witch twice, which may make the audience feel that they have been fooled.
At least, his replacement, Simon is not easy to accept two consecutive so-called fear in the heart.
There must always be some progress.
In addition, the story structure, this time will also use flashback mode.
It begins with the TV station's search and rescue report on the five missing college students, and then leads to the discovery of several IREC digital cameras by the search and rescue team in the dense forest, which is then shown to the public in the form of secret file leakage.
As for the ending, this time, it will adopt the way similar to the ghost record, which stops abruptly when the audience's mood is very high.
This is also why the plot of the search and rescue report was not put at the end.
Different from psychological fear, like many classic story structures in Hollywood, which are not outdated after repeated shooting, since the structure of ghost is effective, we should continue.
Of course, there is also a difference. The mood in the ghost record has been rising, and finally stopped abruptly. And "the witch Blair" is a sudden ending after ups and downs. The group of five is hunted by the witches one by one, just like the old school youth horror film. Then, with the last player game over, the story stops abruptly.Different from the old school youth horror film, there will always be one or two survivors, this story will be a tragic annihilation.
"We recently visited several states in the south, such as Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida, and finally selected a small town named Canadia in the southwest of Alabama on the border with Mississippi and the nearby forest area as the scene spot."
In the office.
Paul Greengrass pasted several large photos recently taken in the South on the wide white board against the wall on the west side one by one, and introduced the preparation of the project to Simon: "this is a mixed area of wild pine and oak trees, and the branches are very low and twisted, giving people a natural twisted and strange feeling, which is very suitable for the atmosphere we need in this film. In addition, along the Bank of a stream deep in the forest area, there are many abandoned old wooden houses. Simon, you see, these are left by some early residents at the end of last century. Coupled with the erosion of time, there is no trace of modern civilization. Well, I'm going to choose this place as the nest of witches. "
Speaking of this, Paul Greengrass did not wait for Simon to ask a question, and added: "I know that in the plot setting, witches will appear, but will not be found. Therefore, this is only a former nest. We will put some witches elements in it, but witches will not live here."
Simon looks at some photos on the whiteboard apparently taken by Paul Greengrass after carefully selecting the angle, and nods with satisfaction. Compared with the original version of the witch Blair, Kathy doesn't give people a little bit of the barren mountains and wild forests related to the atmosphere of witches. Just looking at these photos can almost immediately bring the audience into a certain atmosphere.
This is the gap between professional and amateur.
However, Simon immediately thought of a question: "what's the effect of IREC?"
Obviously, the photos were taken by professional cameras. If it were taken by an amateur home digital camera like IREC, the lens effect might be completely different.
Paul Greengrass was also prepared for this. He took out an IREC from his carry on luggage and gave it to the girl next to him. However, he continued to say to Simon, "the effect of IREC is also very good. However, Simon, I asked Tinkerbell that they have a better high-resolution prototype. I was wondering if we can use those devices, the current consumer IREC Frankly speaking, the effect is a little too bad relatively? "
Simon shook his head without hesitation: "no way."
Paul greenglaston was a bit disappointed.
Simon thought for a moment, but explained: "Paul, you know, we have signed a promotion agreement with tincobail, a very high value sponsorship contract, so we have to use IREC in the market. At most, we can make some improvements on the battery life and other details, because this is an important gimmick in the future publicity process. If we use IREC in the market, it is actually a high-end sample in the laboratory, even if it is still the tincobail brand, if the news is leaked, the result is likely to be disastrous. "
Paul Greengrass, of course, knows about brand sponsorship. He didn't expect much of it. Seeing Simon say so, he would give up.
Simon continued: "and even if you don't mention sponsorship, Paul, the quality of the so-called fake documentary film itself should be like this. If you give the audience a picture quality no less than that of the film film, or even more than that of the consumer digital camera, it will still make the audience lose the immersive documentary experience, and the result is hard to predict."
Simon said that he also remembered a fake documentary film, the diatelov incident, which was shot by Hollywood director Rene Harlin in history. The story didn't tell, but it was only the quality of the picture. It was a complete movie level. As a result, it was said that it was a fake documentary film, but because the picture quality was so good, it was no less than a film film film. On the contrary, it made people play.
In addition, after the beginning of 2007, many sequels of the ghost series, even though the picture quality inevitably continues to improve because of the times, can always give people a sense of hand-held camera shooting as a pseudo documentary.
Some people may argue that the winner is always right, but it would be very unwise to see that the winner is repeatedly proved to be right, and instead of following the imitation, he has to do the opposite.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Moreover, this girl is also a actress Simon once knew, Katherine Monin, a famous Hollywood tomboy, who was famous for her role in "word for word" and the cousin of Gwyneth Paltrow, the queen of water. Katherine mooning, 20, is a junior at the New York Academy of Dramatic Arts. Although Simon is not interested in the girl who can't distinguish the pros and cons with her head covered, her acting skills are excellent enough and her image just meets the requirements of "the witch Blair", so she is naturally selected. Speaking of it, because a tomboy is needed in the film. At first, when he saw Katherine mooning, Simon thought of Hilary Swank, the most nonexistent Oscar actress in Hollywood. The acting skill is better. Unfortunately, after checking, he found that he has been on the stage for many years. Although there are still all kinds of tricks, he still does not meet the screening criteria that the role in the film must be a newcomer. After greeting, Maria brought coffee and snacks in person. Everyone sat down on the sofa in the reception area of the office and began to discuss business. It's about Blair the witch, of course. Today is Sunday, which is not a working day, but Simon can only squeeze out some time today. Naturally, Lina and others have to cater to his schedule and fly to Boston from all over the United States. No one complains about this. No matter inside or outside Hollywood, there are few people who expect to meet Simon westrow. As long as there is a chance, let alone fly to Boston, even to Mars, as long as it is feasible, few people will refuse. It's like Jerry brookheimer who came here together this time. Originally, the project of "the witch Blair" had nothing to do with him. Brookheimer saw the opportunity and offered to be the executive producer of the film without any reward. Simon agreed to send the proposal to Simon after a little consideration. It's about getting what you need. In recent years, Jerry brookheimer's career has been on the decline obviously. As brookheimer's boss, the idea of "the witch Blair" can naturally be heard that it was Simon's own idea. Therefore, it can be said that it was an active friendship, just as Brian De Palmer escorted Simon's debut "Lola run". In addition, since Paul Greengrass, the director of the witch Blair, is Simon's director of public enemy, brookheimer, as the producer of public enemy, also happens to observe and even help the newcomer nearby. Maybe he can become his own direct partner in the future. The new version of "the witch Blair" has been basically completed. In addition to the original exploration architecture setting for witches, most of the other details are quite different from what they used to be. This is mainly because the quality of the original version is not good enough, and it is more just an accidental success under virus marketing. This time, the story mainly tells the story of two men, three women and five college students who went to explore according to the legend of a small town witch, went deep into the dense forest, from the initial adventure, to the discovery of strange things, and then to the appearance of a real witch, which led to the annihilation of the small team. That's right. Compared with the past, there will be real Witches in the new "witch Blair". In fact, the reason why the team was completely afraid was that there was no witch. It was more because the team's budget was too small to afford to play. Simon initially thought about continuing this fear pattern, and then he overthrew himself. Because this mode has just been used in ghost record. The ghost record, which is still on show, is basically set according to the original version. There is no ghost in the whole process. If the following "the witch Blair" is still like this, it will inevitably give people a feeling of repeated speculation. It's just that you can't see a ghost once, and you can't see a witch twice, which may make the audience feel that they have been fooled. At least, his replacement, Simon is not easy to accept two consecutive so-called fear in the heart. There must always be some progress. In addition, the story structure, this time will also use flashback mode. It begins with the TV station's search and rescue report on the five missing college students, and then leads to the discovery of several IREC digital cameras by the search and rescue team in the dense forest, which is then shown to the public in the form of secret file leakage. As for the ending, this time, it will adopt the way similar to the ghost record, which stops abruptly when the audience's mood is very high. This is also why the plot of the search and rescue report was not put at the end. Different from psychological fear, like many classic story structures in Hollywood, which are not outdated after repeated shooting, since the structure of ghost is effective, we should continue. Of course, there is also a difference. The mood in the ghost record has been rising, and finally stopped abruptly. And "the witch Blair" is a sudden ending after ups and downs. The group of five is hunted by the witches one by one, just like the old school youth horror film. Then, with the last player game over, the story stops abruptly.Different from the old school youth horror film, there will always be one or two survivors, this story will be a tragic annihilation. "We recently visited several states in the south, such as Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida, and finally selected a small town named Canadia in the southwest of Alabama on the border with Mississippi and the nearby forest area as the scene spot." In the office. Paul Greengrass pasted several large photos recently taken in the South on the wide white board against the wall on the west side one by one, and introduced the preparation of the project to Simon: "this is a mixed area of wild pine and oak trees, and the branches are very low and twisted, giving people a natural twisted and strange feeling, which is very suitable for the atmosphere we need in this film. In addition, along the Bank of a stream deep in the forest area, there are many abandoned old wooden houses. Simon, you see, these are left by some early residents at the end of last century. Coupled with the erosion of time, there is no trace of modern civilization. Well, I'm going to choose this place as the nest of witches. " Speaking of this, Paul Greengrass did not wait for Simon to ask a question, and added: "I know that in the plot setting, witches will appear, but will not be found. Therefore, this is only a former nest. We will put some witches elements in it, but witches will not live here." Simon looks at some photos on the whiteboard apparently taken by Paul Greengrass after carefully selecting the angle, and nods with satisfaction. Compared with the original version of the witch Blair, Kathy doesn't give people a little bit of the barren mountains and wild forests related to the atmosphere of witches. Just looking at these photos can almost immediately bring the audience into a certain atmosphere. This is the gap between professional and amateur. However, Simon immediately thought of a question: "what's the effect of IREC?" Obviously, the photos were taken by professional cameras. If it were taken by an amateur home digital camera like IREC, the lens effect might be completely different. Paul Greengrass was also prepared for this. He took out an IREC from his carry on luggage and gave it to the girl next to him. However, he continued to say to Simon, "the effect of IREC is also very good. However, Simon, I asked Tinkerbell that they have a better high-resolution prototype. I was wondering if we can use those devices, the current consumer IREC Frankly speaking, the effect is a little too bad relatively? " Simon shook his head without hesitation: "no way." Paul greenglaston was a bit disappointed. Simon thought for a moment, but explained: "Paul, you know, we have signed a promotion agreement with tincobail, a very high value sponsorship contract, so we have to use IREC in the market. At most, we can make some improvements on the battery life and other details, because this is an important gimmick in the future publicity process. If we use IREC in the market, it is actually a high-end sample in the laboratory, even if it is still the tincobail brand, if the news is leaked, the result is likely to be disastrous. " Paul Greengrass, of course, knows about brand sponsorship. He didn't expect much of it. Seeing Simon say so, he would give up. Simon continued: "and even if you don't mention sponsorship, Paul, the quality of the so-called fake documentary film itself should be like this. If you give the audience a picture quality no less than that of the film film, or even more than that of the consumer digital camera, it will still make the audience lose the immersive documentary experience, and the result is hard to predict." Simon said that he also remembered a fake documentary film, the diatelov incident, which was shot by Hollywood director Rene Harlin in history. The story didn't tell, but it was only the quality of the picture. It was a complete movie level. As a result, it was said that it was a fake documentary film, but because the picture quality was so good, it was no less than a film film film. On the contrary, it made people play. In addition, after the beginning of 2007, many sequels of the ghost series, even though the picture quality inevitably continues to improve because of the times, can always give people a sense of hand-held camera shooting as a pseudo documentary. Some people may argue that the winner is always right, but it would be very unwise to see that the winner is repeatedly proved to be right, and instead of following the imitation, he has to do the opposite.
